By the Firelight notes El Pais's news that after his next novel, Antonio Lobo Antunes is calling it quits:

António Lobo Antunes announced yesterday that he will write a novel to “round out his works” and that after he will not publish anything more. In the declaration published yesterday by Diário de Notícias, the Portuguese writer confirmed that after Que Cavalos São Aqueles Que Fazem Sombra no Mar?, the book he is finishing now and will publish in October, he will begin another novel that he thinks he will finish after two you years of work and then after “that will be the end of novels, articles, everything; I will not publish anything more. My voice, spoken or written, will not be heard again. “

Hmmm . . . that actually sounds a little ominous at the end there. Hope he isn't planning anything drastic.
